Provider Data

On September 28-29, 2016, CAQH hosted the 2016 Provider Data Summit: Time to Act to address industry-wide issues related to provider data.

CAQH developed a white paper in connection with Manatt Health, a leading healthcare policy and research firm, to inform discussions at the Summit.

“The poor quality of provider data has created one of the most pressing challenges in this era of healthcare reform,” said CAQH Executive Director Robin J. Thomashauer, in a press release about the white paper. “The industry will be much more successful in solving this problem if we can do so collectively, breaking down barriers and developing consensus on how to move forward.” Read the press release here.

After the Summit, CAQH developed an Executive Summary, which captures highlights from the collaborative discussion and initial recommendations to develop a path forward and address industrywide challenges with provider data.
